they might be spreading by mouth--remember the last years adds and the engineers driving all the way to the Albury to spread the word.

local TV ran adds for Tezza for months if not all year--the engineers [woman] was so excited about the fuel economy of diesel that she planned to drive to it to show her girlfriends on the one tank--sorry I cant remember the script--it wasn't good the first time.

Oh and if they can only build 5 day, then that is 5600 days worth of production So no, they dont have that many sitting around. They might have 28000 of something sitting around (transmissions?) but not engines.

Struth that's a bit harsh isn't it? I thinks Spyman is awesome. Yes he is dragging it out but isn't that half the fun? Isn't anticipation of many things as good as the desired end result? You can only ever see something for the first time - once. Also I have no idea how he gets the images and IF he is an employee of Ford he's taking a risk with every post. It may even be a Ford tactic to leak and test our response. Over 160,000 views would indicate that there is still some interest in our dead man walking Falcon.
Cheers Geoff |

I am wondering if upgraded parts will end up in production somewhere in an effort to clear them all out.
Problem is will it be in the beginning or the end of production of the new model.

I'm hanging out to see this thing! Most of the times, by the time I log on, spyman has removed the pics again. See if I get lucky this time.

Hmm how is it just one bloke could be releasing so much yet show so little?
Maybe the to blokes in marketing are not as silly as we think? And why has carsales etc not grabbed pics and made some rubbish up like usual?

Most prob not exactly wanting to give too much away too soon, perhaps he is in a very select group and would be easily identified if he releases certain pics too early?
